NIH OppNet Grant for Multisensory Processing Research

The National Institutes of Health’s Basic Behavioral and Social Sciences Opportunity Network (OppNet) is offering this grant to fund research projects focusing on the investigation of multisensory processing in perception and behavioral outcomes. The grant aims to support basic behavioral research projects exploring the integration of two or more sensory modalities and how they influence behavioral targets. This opportunity encourages research on the interaction between cognitive processes and multisensory input. Applications should explore how different sensory modalities are integrated to affect perception and behavioral or social outcomes. Closing date for applications is October 31, 2012.

Description::	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued as part of the NIH Basic Behavioral and Social Sciences Opportunity Network (OppNet), encourages research grant applications investigating multisensory processing in perception or other behavioral and social outcomes. The FOA is intended to support basic behavioral research projects focused on two or more sensory modalities. This includes research examining ways in which cognitive or affective processes interact with multisensory input to influence basic behavioral targets. While evidence suggests that sensory input is processed interactively instead of additively, research is less developed regarding how different modalities are integrated for perception and behavioral or social outcomes.
